THE Fifth Thousand of the Third Edition having been for some time exhausted, the publisher feels that he need offer no apology for issuing the Sixth without additions or alterations. The great favour which former editions have received at the hands of the public generally, and schools in particular, proves that the utility of the work is now fully recognised.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.

THIS work was commenced with the purpose only to impart to Law Students some hints on the Art of Speaking, which had been suggested to the writer by experience and observation. It was expanded into its present form when, having been commenced, the writer was impressed with the conviction that to speak well it is necessary to be able to write well and read well. Hence the addition of these subjects to the original design. The writer trusts that they will not be found uninteresting or uninstructive.
